Papercutting Workshop with Emma Noyes
Emma Noyes (Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation / Sinixt and Colville Tribes) is an artist, author, and researcher inspired by the traditional homelands and lifeways of her tribes. She is particularly drawn to the storied geography of how Coyote and other chaptix’ (traditional stories told in Winter) beings shaped and prepared the world we live in today and taught how-to and how-not-to live. Through her artwork she strives to contribute to and expand upon a legacy of Plateau artists that have provided a visual universe of tribal Plateau Indigeneity. Her murals and other public art can be found in Nelson, BC and Spokane Washington, including her latest mural on the Kehoe Building in Hillyard neighborhood, Spokane, WA.
Recently Emma has begun working in paper, creating what she calls story-cuttings. This form of Plateau paper art is created with scissors and paper and zero guiding sketches or plans. If you would like to see some of her latest paper creations and learn step by step how you could build your own paper craft practice, join for a workshop on July 12th, 3pm-5pm at the Capitol Theatre.
